Quirks

My cousin, Michelle tagged me with the "List Your Quirks" tag. The ever-knowledgeable and always accurate Internet, claims that a quirk is "a peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy; oddity" So here goes.

1. During the summer when it is hot or even warm, I like to have a fan blow on me when I sleep, that may be normal but now here is the quirky part, I also like to have a nice big blanket on me while the fan is blowing on me. Everyone is boiling hot and there I am with a huge blanket on and the fan still on. I can't have one without the other.

2. I like to eat something right after I brush my teeth because I don't like the taste of toothpaste in my mouth. So that whole "you should brush your teeth after you eat" thing does not really work for me, but I do brush my teeth before I eat. Proper dental hygiene is a must.

3. I don't like to hear people chew, it really grates on my nerves.

4. I read really fast, I can read over 100 pages an hour, and I love to read, anything and everything. I can tune out the whole world when I read, which drives my husband crazy. I become entirely engrossed and often stay up most of a night reading as I don't like to leave a book unfinished.

5. I constantly spill on myself, I usually ruin a shirt a day. I buy a ton of stain remover but sometimes all stains just wont come out. Joe wants me to throw away stained shirts but sometimes it is a brand new shirt and that would be wasteful. Still he says if I don't wear it why should I keep it. Well, I do wear them on days when I don't go out and stay at home. Days when I don't see anyone but my kids. They don't mind a few stains on mama's shirt.

6. When I eat candy bars, I dissect them and eat them by parts, first just the chocolate exterior, next the filling, next the cookie, or nougat. I rarely just take a bite out of a candy bar. Because of this It takes me a while to eat one candy bar, I guess it could be seen as diet tool. I also think that I truly get to enjoy the full spectrum of the candy bar by tasting each separate ingredient individually.

So there you have it a few of my silly quirks.
